'California Redwoods' Bike Ride


Susan, Sharon, and Kitty assembled at Union Square (San Francisco) before heading to the ride starting point at Santa Rosa.

What a great way to start a vacation- slept in to 6am (9am east coast time), met up with Katie O for breakfast on the Embarcadero (for our gastronomic experience--omelet with gruyere cheese and mushrooms and coffee; Sharon had a "just like a diet coke" that wasn't, but we give it points for being sustainably produced according to the wait staff), walked around a bit and landed at the SF Museum of Modern Art (for our cultural experience), checked out late from the hotel (thank you again, Katie), then started making our way down to the bus stop to head up to Santa Rosa. The Golden Gate bridge is still as impressive a structure as it was when built 75(?) years ago with views of a regatta with the balloon sails and Alcatraz below. Looking forward to the start of our ride in the am which promises to be great weather. Good friends, good biking and good wine, let the fun begin!
